Abstract

A new constitutive plasticity model for prismatic slip in hexagonal α-titanium is developed. In the concept pure edge and screw dislocation densities evolve on the {101̄0}〈12̄10〉 slip systems. The model considers that the screw dislocation segments have a spread out core, leading to a much higher velocity of edge compared with screw dislocations. This enables the model to describe the observed transition in strain hardening from stage I to stage II in single crystals oriented for prismatic slip. Good agreement is found between the experimentally observed and simulated stress-strain behavior.
